A massive winter storm already blamed for the deaths of at least 24 people in the U.S. Midwest spread north Tuesday, bringing more ice and widespread power outages to the region. Officials in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma have declared states of emergency. About 2½ centimetres of ice are expected to coat parts of Iowa, followed by up to 13 centimetres of sleet and snow. As much as three centimetres of ice had already accumulated on trees, power lines, streets and car windshields Monday in parts of Oklahoma.
Tens of thousands of students stayed home in Wisconsin and Iowa, while kids across most of Oklahoma and the Kansas City, Mo., area were at home for the second day in a row.More than 600,000 customers in Oklahoma were still in the dark Tuesday after power lines throughout the state were downed by heavy ice and branches. It was the largest power outage in the state's history.
I hope US is would be well prepared for it, I think they do. This would be closed down the hole mid east cities, but citizens of US would be okay, and it will be moved other way. I don’t want it to come to Canada.
